US Passport Power Declines, Dropping from Top 10 for the First Time in 20 Years

The U.S. passport has fallen from the top 10 most powerful passports for the first time in 20 years, reflecting a decline in global mobility and soft power, partly due to stricter immigration policies under the Trump administration. Singapore now holds the top spot, with the U.S. ranking 10th, with visa-free access to 180 destinations. The decline is linked to policies such as visa restrictions and reciprocity issues with other countries.
